[PHP] String Manipulation
Hi guys I have the following intention and would really like to know if tis possible and if its possible how should it be done. I have a string that is something like this: INPUT TYPE=BUTTON Value='nbsp;nbsp;#171;nbsp;nbsp;' onClick=self.location='/s/979216/22/'SELECT title='chapter navigation' Name=chapter onChange=self.location = '/s/979216/'+ this.options[this.selectedIndex].value + '/';option value=1 1. Prologueoption value=2 2. First daysoption value=3 3. Drastic choiceoption value=4 4. Sowarocsoption value=5 5. Trainingoption value=6 6. Teneb/select How can I retrieve the Values and assign it to a variable, and next retrieve the name and assign it to another variable and so on... I'd like to get something like: 1 1. Prologue 2 2. First days 3 3. Drastic choice 4 4. Sowarocs 5 5. Training 6 6. Teneb and eacch of these should be in a variable, remembering that the number of variables is dynamic so it can be only one or 100.

Here's a quickie, untested, and probably with some kind of logic errors,
or at least things not quite what you want.
$fulltext = There is no such great language than php. Amongh those
countries using this language is Germany with a good percentage of
users.;
$words = explode( , php germany);
$snippets = '';
while (list(, $word) = each($words)){
if (!stristr($snippets, $word)){ //skip this if we already got the word.
$start = strpos($fulltext, $word);
if ($start !== false){
$end = $start + strlen($word);
$jumpback = strpos(' ', $fulltext, $start - 20);
$jumpforward = strpos(' ', $fulltext, $end + 20);
$snippet = substr($fulltext, $jumpback, $jumpforward);
$snippets .= $snippet ;
}
}
}
reset($words);
while (, $word) = each($words)){
$snippets = str_replacei($word, b$word/b, $snippets);
}
echo $snippets;
To Do:
Might wanna store an array of start/end numbers for snippets, then sort by
start, then combine those that overlap one end to the next start, *THEN*
combine those snippets, so you don't have snippets out or order, nor
overlapping.
Still, I got ya started...
Hi Richard,
thank you for the jump start! I have fixed some errors within the script and now
it works ( I am attaching the script). You are right, the overlap is a to do.
Best regards, Merlin

Use the substr function to get the part you want.

[PHP] String Manipulation
Hello all,
I know that this has probably been discussed before and that you will
tell me to go through all the back messages on the list but I really
don't have time to do that because I am on a really tight schedule, but
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to pull
some information out of a string. I have something like this:
(Something) - is wrong with me
or
something - (is wrong with me)
or
something - (is wrong with me
what I need to know how to do is take the stuff that is inside the
Brackets (or partial brackets) and put them into another string
the way I am currently doing it is like this:
Variable names have been changed per my boss(My Boss wanted me to change
them for some reason)
?
$parenpos = strpos($tartist,));
$bracketpos = strpos($tartist,]);
if($parenpos){
$artist = trim(substr($tartist,0,$parenpos));
$title = trim(substr($tartist,$parenpos+3));
$secondparenpos = strpos($title,();
$secondbracketpos = strpos($tartist,[);
$title = trim(substr($title,0,$secondparenpos));
}elseif($bracketpos){
$artist = chop(substr($tartist,1,$bracketpos-1));
$title = trim(substr($tartist,$bracketpos+3));
}
?
I know that there has to be a shorter version of this, can anyone help
me out with it?
Thank You,
Mike

Hello all,
I know that this has probably been discussed before and that you will
tell me to go through all the back messages on the list but I really
don't have time to do that because I am on a really tight schedule,
but
I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on how to pull
some information out of a string. I have something like this:
(Something) - is wrong with me
or
something - (is wrong with me)
or
something - (is wrong with me
what I need to know how to do is take the stuff that is inside the
Brackets (or partial brackets) and put them into another string
the way I am currently doing it is like this:
Variable names have been changed per my boss(My Boss wanted me to
change
them for some reason)
?
$parenpos = strpos($tartist,));
$bracketpos = strpos($tartist,]);
if($parenpos){
$artist = trim(substr($tartist,0,$parenpos));
$title = trim(substr($tartist,$parenpos+3));
$secondparenpos = strpos($title,();
$secondbracketpos = strpos($tartist,[);
$title = trim(substr($title,0,$secondparenpos));
}elseif($bracketpos){
$artist = chop(substr($tartist,1,$bracketpos-1));
$title = trim(substr($tartist,$bracketpos+3));
}

RE: [PHP] String Manipulation
Ok, It works and everything, but I just was wondering:
$data = ereg_replace('(.*(\(|\[)|(\)|\]).*)', '', ${$data});
--^ ^
what does this do exactly, I see that you are replacing all the
characters [] and () but what is the ${$data} for?
Also for future reference is there a way that you could return the
string with all the parentheses stripped out?
Thank You again,

Re: [PHP] String Manipulation
okay... the break down
the regexp: '(.*(\(|\[)|(\)|\]).*)'
.* = any character from zero to infinite number of times
(\(|\[) = either ( or [ (they are escaped with a \ bcz they have other
meaning
then I have another pipe | meaning or
(\)|\]) = either ) or ]
.* = again... any char any # of times
if you want only the parenthesis or the brackets removed just leave out the
.* in the regexp.
the ${$data}was only there in my example working code bcz I had 6 vars named
$string1 through $string6. I wanted to call each of them in a loop but you
can't say $string$i. I said $data = string . $i., which would translate to
just a string like this string1. I could have just used $$data, which is
the same as saying $string1 but I hate to use the double $$ because it
looks bad. Sorry if I threw you off. You can just do it like this:
$text_out = ereg_replace('(.*(\(|\[)|(\)|\]).*)', '', $text_in);

Wow, Thank you for the explanation, it helped out a lot ;) I don't know regex very well, but I hope that this will give me a better understanding of it. Thank you Yet again, Mike clipped regex explanation good luck understanding. personally it is one of those things that I dust off and pull out the help docs everytime I need it... never use it enough to sit down and really become proficient at writing them, and each time I do it is like pulling teeth. Would love to see a nice walkthrough with excercises and such, just havn't bothered. Instead I suffer through each time it must be used to accomplish an end goal. End results from a carefully crafted regex cannot be beat though. Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] String manipulation with ereg_replace
From: "Ian LeBlanc" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am working on a site that has over 1000 pages and all the images need to
be made lower case in the HTML.
Here is what I have so far. Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong.
$contents="img src=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif
alt=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif";
$contents =
EREG_REPLACE("([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+).gif",strtolower("\\0"),$contents);
Output of $contents needs to equal
img src=thisonereallyneedstobealllowercase.gif
alt=thisonereallyneedstobealllowercase.gif
You need to use preg_replace which supports evaluating PHP code for the
replacement. To use preg functions you need to have compiled PHP with PCRE
(Perl Compatible Regular Expression) support.
http://www.php.net/manual/function.preg-replace.php3
This should do the trick (untested!):
?
$contents = "img src=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif
alt=ThisOneReallyNeedsToBeAllLowercase.gif";
$contents = preg_replace("/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.gif/e", "strtolower('\\1')
. '.gif'", $contents);
?

simpler that
"/([-_a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.gif/e"
is
"/([-\w]+)\.gif/e"
